Abstract

Pteridophytes are able to live in a variety of habitats resulting in high species diversity. However, in monoculture vegetation such as tea plantations, species diversity can be reduced. This study aimed to compare the composition of the pteridophytes on the edge of the main road and the area in the tea garden at the Nirmala Tea Plantation, Kabandungan District, Sukabumi, West Java. Samples were collected using the exploratory method, then identified and observed for their morphological characteristics, and then the data were analyzed descriptively. The diversity of pteridophytes in the tea garden area (18 species) was lower than the main roadside tea plantation (25 species). Some species in the tea plantations were only found in the tea garden area (7 species) or on the side of the main roadside (14), and there were also species found in both locations (11 species). Pteridophytes in the study area is dominated by terrestrial ferns and the Polypodiaceae family. Soil moisture and wind speed are more influential factors on the diversity of pteridophytes than other abiotic factors measured. This result is new information on the diversity of fern in the Tea Plantation.

Abstract

Community timber plantation has an essential role as a source for the wood industry. One of the community timber plantations is located in Cibugel, Sumedang Regency, West Java. Lots of Gmelina arborea are planted in this community timber plantation because it does not need specific care and have a short cutting time. However, planting Gmelina in a community timber plantation leads to insect attacks on trees from different age groups, which could decrease wood production. Sustainable insect pest control efforts can be carried out by first understanding the structure of insect communities at different plant ages. Therefore, a study was conducted to compare the diversity of insect communities in plant age groups of 2, 4, and 15 years using the pitfall trap and sticky trap methods, supported by the hand searching method and microclimate data collection. In addition, plant damage caused by insects was also determined by analyzing the absolute and relative damage intensity. The results show that the dominant insect community in Gmelina age groups 2 and 15 years is Formicidae, which are generally classified as predators. Meanwhile, in the 4-year age group, the insect community was dominated by insects classified as herbivores, pests of G. arborea plants. These results align with the highest level of plant damage, namely in the 4-year age group.

Abstract

Exposure to environmental waste such as landfill leachate has the potential to cause genotoxic effects and oxidative stress impacting the mammalian reproductive system. This study examined the effects of Sarimukti Landfill Leachate (LTS) on sperm DNA damage and testicular oxidative stress in male Wistar rats. Rats were exposed to LTS at concentrations of 0%, 35%, and 63% during distinct spermatogenesis stages: mitosis (MTS), meiosis (MSS), and spermiogenesis (SMGS). Sperm DNA damage was assessed using the Sperm Chromatin Dispersion (SCD) assay, while testicular oxidative stress was measured by quantifying Malondialdehyde (MDA) and total protein levels. The results showed dose-dependent sperm DNA damage across all spermatogenesis stages, with the most significant damage observed at the 63% LTS dose. Sperm DNA damage levels were highest in the MTS group (93.53%), followed by MSS (87.5%) and SMGS (86.8%). The 63% LTS dose also increased testicular lipid peroxidation, as indicated by elevated MDA levels (4.63 µM/mL). This suggests that LTS can damage lipid components in testicular tissue. Additionally, the 63% LTS dose reduced total protein levels in testicular tissue to 63.55 µg/mL, compared to 108.31 µg/mL in the control group. Heavy metals (arsenic, plumbum, nickel, chromium) and organic pollutants in LTS generated reactive oxygen species (ROS) in germ cells, disrupting cellular repair mechanisms also inducing lipid and protein oxidation. This oxidative stress further exacerbated sperm chromatin fragmentation. These findings highlight the reproductive toxicity of landfill leachate and emphasize the need for protective measures during early spermatogenesis stages. This study provides insights into the environmental impacts on male fertility and underscores the risks of genotoxic exposure.

Abstract

Abstrak. Ketergantungan manusia terhadap lahan sangat terlihat nyata dengan adanya perubahan fungsi lahan. Perubahan fungsi lahan juga berdampak terhadap tingkat biodiversitas tumbuhan. Studi ini mempelajari tingkat biodiversitas dan kelimpahan tumbuhan di tiga lokasi yang berbeda yaitu lahan konservasi pinus/perkebunan kopi, lahan persawahan dan lahan pemukiman. Ketiga lahan tersebut berada di Daerah Aliran Sungai (DAS) Cilaja yaitu di Desa Giri Mekar dan Desa Sindanglaya Kabupaten Bandung. Dalam penelitian ini dilakukan metode sampling struktur komunitas vegetasi untuk mengetahui komposisi, struktur dan jenis vegetasi serta perbedaan komunitas di tiga titik lokasi tersebut. Untuk analisis kuantitatif digunakan metode kuadran. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa lahan pemukiman desa lebih beragam dibandingkan dengan lahan sawah dan lahan perkebunan kopi. Dapat disimpulkan secara umum bahwa keterlibatan dalam mengelola lahan dapat merubah komunitas, tingkat keanekaragaman dan dominansi tumbuhan.Kata kunci : DAS, tingkat biodiversitas, metode sampling struktur komunitas vegetasi Abstract.

Abstract

The water hyacinth plant (Eichhornia crassipes) is often used for the phytoremediation process. This is because water hyacinth is a plant that is easy to find, besides that water hyacinth is able to grow in polluted waters and is able to produce biomass. This study aims to analyze changes in pH, TDS, temperature and DO levels in domestic wastewater at the Sigay waterfall which was treated with Eichhornia crassipes (water hyacinth) plants with the addition of palm fiber and gravel over a treatment period of 3, 6 and 9 days in retention ponds, as well to determine the optimum time for phytoremediation of Eichhornia crassipes in retention ponds. crassipes (Water hyacinth) during the experiment. The experimental reactor consisted of 3 treatments, namely water hyacinth fiber palm+gravel for 3 days (T-H3), 6 days (T-H6) and 9 days (T-H9) with reactor without treatment as the control. Each reactor is filled with 3L of leachate. The reactor is left in the open and exposed to sunlight. Data were processed using the ANOVA test. The results show a value of P= 0.027 for pH, P=0.026 for temperature, P=0.003 for TDS and 0.066 for the DO test with a value of α=0.05, which indicates that if P0.05 there is a significant difference between each treatment.

Abstract

Despite its ecological significance, including its function as a sink for pollutants, a provider of oxygen, and a bioindicator of air quality, a comprehensive study of lichen diversity in Subang, West Java, has not been conducted. The objective of this study is to analyze the diversity of lichen found in the Curug Sadim natural tourism area, Subang. Data collection was carried out through the implementation of the cruising method at three observation stations. The results of this study indicated the presence of ten lichen species, classified into eight families, Namely Caloplaca sp. (Teloschistaceae), Cladonia sp. (Cladoniaceae), Cryptothecia scripta (Arthoniaceae), Cryptothecia striata (Arthoniaceae), Dirinaria sp. (Caliciaceae), Flavoparmelia caperata (Parmeliaceae), Graphis scripta (Graphidaceae), Leptogium cyanescens (Collemataceae), Parmotrema hypotropum (Parmeliaceae), and Phlyctis sp. (Phlyctidaceae). These lichen species are found attached to substrates such as trees and rocks, and they exhibit various thalus types, including fruticose, crustose, and foliose. The presence of lichen with high variation indicates that the environment of Curug Sadim is relatively clean and supports the survival of bioindicator organisms. These findings are of significant importance in light of their contribution to our understanding of local biodiversity and the potential of lichen as a bioecological indicator in monitoring environmental quality.

Abstract

The primary factor influencing photosynthesis is the presence of chlorophyll pigment. The objective of this study was conducted to identify the impact of leaf age on the rate of photosynthesis and to elucidate the correlation between the level of chlorophyll content in leaves of varying ages and the aforementioned rate. This was achieved through the utilisation of the FLDA (Floating Leaf Disk Array) method. Furthermore, the chlorophyll content measurement method was employed. The FLDA test results demonstrated that old leaves exhibited a higher rate of photosynthesis, potentially due to the elevated chlorophyll level in old leaves relative to young leaves, which averaged ±4,791 mg/ml and ±1,345 mg/ml, respectively. These findings substantiate the existence of a correlation between leaf age and the rate of leaf photosynthesis.
